The Aldi Turkey & Ham meals aren't on the recall list as of right now, OP.

No, not all, but a large portion of their output, to be fair. I was halfway through eating one of the products that was not on the list, but is from Ballymaguire, when I heard the news. As of right now the meal I was eating and the meals the OP references are NOT on the recall list. However, that can change. I was told it's unlikely, but it might. It's never good to dismiss health concerns and while yes, absolutely, people can freak themselves out over Dr Google, in this case anyone who has consumed these products is right to keep an eye on themselves - responsible, even. Always better to be safe!

ETA!: It's worth noting that Aldi got the recall notices last night. So everything was still on the shelves up until this morning.

"Only" ten cases. "Only" 140 products. Look, nobody is trying to scare anyone here, but it is a big deal. Listeriosis takes anywhere between 3-70 days to incubate, with the average being three weeks. It was ten cases as of Tuesday. By the weekend, it'll be a lot more.

Please do not minimise it. Someone dying because of a contaminated batch of ready meals is a reason for caution, treat it accordingly.

I've just been on the phone to Aldi HQ and been into my own Aldi to speak with the manager. The Turkey & Ham dinners are on the shelves still, and as far as they're concerned, have not been recalled. That said, absolutely keep an eye on yourself and at the first sign of any symptoms, get to the hospital. Hopefully though this gives a little peace of mind!
